      strange idea

      I was just wondering if anyone has tried to use reverse swing pedals in a street car. In my roadrunner I plan on running a twin turbo setup so i already have to figure out how to clear the torsion bars. I'm very mechanically capable so I'm putting together my own big brake setup, just wondering if having the master cylinders inside the cabin is a bad idea. I guess they arent really that big and I can do remote cylinder if need be, but I'm thinking out loud.

      Reverse swing pedals are being used in more and more street rods. They keep a clean firewall while allowing more foot room than underfloor pedals. Floor mounted pedals have always felt strange to me when driving anyway. Remote reservoirs are an excellent idea as without them checking fluid level can become a very frustrating exercise involving a mirror and a squeeze bottle with goosneck spout.

      There's nothing wrong with having the pedals inside, but like the previous post said, adding fluid or bleeding can be a real pain.
